3. And please provide basic information in relation to breaches of planning permission/conditions at any other salmon farms since 2010.

For example, list the salmon farm, license number, location and summarize the breach

Response

Breaches of planning permission are a matter for the authority tasked under the legislation, usually the Local Planning Authority that granted the planning permission in question. Crown Estate Scotland have no statutory remit with regards to planning permissions and are not necessarily made aware of breaches. As such we hold no such information.

A general enquiry was raised by Crown Estate Scotland regarding the mentioned site, however this was simply to check the required measures in relation to a project we were conducting elsewhere. I have included this in case it may be of any use, personal information has been removed (11)(2) - Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004
